Book Talks are designed to give UM faculty with a humanities focus an opportunity to share their recently published books with the community. Faculty generally present on their research and take questions from the audience.
Please join us for another academic year @ Books & Books (265 Aragon Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134)! Please RSVP for the program to allow for set-up. Programs take place on Monday evenings, starting at 6:30pm.
